A LOT of students struggle with procrastinating – it's the nemesis of many who really struggle with starting things on time. A Netflix-binge, early night or even cleaning the bathroom is often more appetising than starting that essay or revising for that exam. 

But while some procrastinating may be fun, the effects of it are not – including guilt, stress, all-nighters and crappy grades.

In this episode, we’re diving into WHY we put off studying. It's focused on self-reflection with prompts to help you think about the thoughts, emotions and worries behind your studies.

Because when we understand our reasons for procrastinating it becomes possible to do something about it.

I’ll walk you through my three-step process to ditching procrastination so you can save your sanity, be more proactive, and achieve better results.

I've also created a worksheet to go along with this episode which will help you put this 3-step exercise into practice and stop procrastinating for good. Simply sign up to my free resource library below and you'll find the anti-procrastination exercise in the Productivity & Organisation module.
